medication. Animal testing is wrong and should be abolished in favor of newer, better solutions, it often causes pain to the animal, and in most cases the results cannot be applied to humans, some may argue that because animal testing is a tried and true science, it must stay, but there are now technological advances to replace it. Animal testing causes animals pain, and therefore it is an inhumane practice and should be abolished. In 2007, over 77,000 animals suffered pain due to animal…

Egg Drop Experiment My Plan was a very simple but complicated task. My plan was to make one small triangular prism. I did this out of transparent tape (scotch tape), duct tape, and straws. First I made a small triangle that held the egg snug for maximum protection. Then I taped straws to every side of the triangle. But I tested it and it wasn’t enough off the roof of my house. So, what did I do? I reinforced the straws and made it into triple straws for more suspension. Before I dropped I was…

In the earlier stages, barbarism was based on agriculture and the rearing of cattle. Civilization was based upon private property, introduced by commodity production. The period of savagery and barbarism constituted the period of “primitive communism”, where there were no restrictions on which men and women could have relations, living in common “long houses” with common property and children would be raised in common.

Nails and hair can be cut off and they will grow back.it is even possible for the end of a finger cut off will grow back if the nail plate is long enough, because under the nail plate there are stem cells.

Additionally, the procedure of animal testing has many issues such as fallacious results, various limitations in the testing process, and most importantly, the scarifications of numerous animals. Not only does does it cause detrimental effects to the subjects, but it also…

Albert Einstein declared “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” It is important to remember that Einstein said this long before all of the technological developments we know today. If he could see how far we have progressed, his proclamation would most likely be even more urgent. Many people share the fear of technology overtaking humans. While this apprehension is certainly understandable, technology has always advanced over time and the benefits have…

While many people would see this as an advancement of science and a good thing. However, Louv quickly shows where he falls on the matter by using a satirical quote from Matt Richtel about how “it’s time for nature to carry its weight,” (lines 8-9). He then incorporates more quotes from Richtel that continue…
